Gordon and Wendy

Gordon Brown’s latest re-launch has been scuppered by his Scottish party leader.  Just like he was recently scuppered by his own Chancellorship.  Both cases will significantly harm Labour - the latter in the North and the former north of the border.  With Labour heartlands already turning to a blue-ish hue, he cannot afford to keep making such stupid mistakes.

It is telling that the two issues most besetting the Labour party at the moment were caused and exacerbated by the Prime Minister and leader in Scotland.  Some governments are brought down by unfortunate circumstances.  This one will fall through the stupidity, incompetence and arrogance of its leadership.

    “With Labour heartlands already turning to a blue-ish hue”

    I take it you mean Labour heartlands outside of Scotland. The SNP could hardly be described as “blue” in the sense it usually means, politically…

    I did indeed mean the heartlands a little south of Scotland.
